Zaatar spice mix used in the Middle East by Ray Sahelian, M.D. Health benefit of zaatar herbal product

I was exposed to zaatar many years ago and immediately was attracted to the unique taste of this herbal mix that pleasantly surprises the senses for several seconds after each taste. I now eat zaatar added to a piece of multi grain whole bread and extra virgin olive oil. The one side effect or downside of zaatar is that it leads me to eat more olive oil than I wish to consume. However, I am learning to use zaatar without or with little olive oil, for instance spreading it on an omelet or sprinkling it on soup.

Zaatar spice mix questions
Q.  I saw your article in the internet about Zahtar. Can you be nice and give me the botanic name of sumac and thyme used to prepare the Zahtar. This will help me to find in Philippines these plants to prepare my Zahtar.
   A. Sumac has a variety of botanical names, so I am not sure. Thyme is Thymus.

Q. What is the right spelling for zaatar? I have seen it in so many ways, including  zatar, zahtar, zahatar, etc. Zatar seems to be more popular than zahatar.
   A. Zaatar is a mixture of sumac, sesame seed and herbs frequently used in the Middle East and Mediterranean areas. I am familiar with the spelling as zaatar. Different countries or peoples may spell it in different ways.
